Fried Catfish is a delightful and crispy dish that captures the essence of traditional Paleo Indian cuisine. With its seasoned coating and tender fish, it's a perfect balance of flavor and texture, making it a satisfying lunch option.

Ingredients

• Catfish fillets - 400 grams
• Almond flour - 100 grams
• Coconut flour - 50 grams
• Eggs - 2 large
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Garlic powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Cayenne pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Coconut oil - 200 ml (for frying)

Steps

1. Rinse the catfish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
2. In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten.
3. In another bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.
4. Dip each catfish fillet into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off.
5. Coat the fillet in the flour mixture, pressing down gently to ensure an even coating.
6. Heat coconut oil in a frying pan over medium heat until hot.
